Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Manny Pacquiao Will Probably Go Down As Greatest Fighter We've Ever Seen

[NachoMan]

That's quite a stretch, but he is definitely an all-time great. I wouldn't rate him above or as high as Robinson and the four kings, among others, but he sure was superb in his prime.

Pac achieved more than any member of the Fab 4.

It's funny a thread about Pac it attracts Floyd fans and they mention floyd? And these floyd fans are the same ones saying we can't help talking about floyd?
Pac was unquestionably best of his era. When Floyd retired it was no bigbdeal as you know Floyd isn't going to give fans what they want with anti climatic berto types fights. When Pac retires it will be like an end ofbera, people will cry, and in 50 years time people will be talking about what we're you doing when.Pac announced retirement, like where was you when JFK got shot type thing.
Pac leaving sport is a big deal. Only reason Floyd leaving sport is a big deal is people wanted him to lose officially and they cant see that now. But now glad he's retired as he wasn't ever going to give fights you wanted whilst protecting that zero.

Being crowd-pleasing is different from being the greatest of your era.

Don't get them confused.

There's still not enough attack on Dela Hoya's credibility. After all he's just the legendary golden boy. The opinions of posters here matter more.

Well if that's the criteria.... Gatti is the greatest fighter I ever seen along with the other fighters who have multple fights of the year.

Exactly, precisely, spot on.

Well if that's the criteria.... Gatti is the greatest fighter I ever seen along with the other fighters who have multple fights of the year.

When.people say Pac is unquestionably best of era, there is no misunderstanding. They know what they mean and know how they come to that conclusion. Your comprehension maybe the problem.

[KillaMane26]

lol riiiiight.

You based it on putting on crowd pleasing fights.... Then Gatti vs Ward shyts on every fighter active entire career including all of Manny's fights. ..... And that's just one of his great fights.

I sound ****** don't I? Lol

Sorry Oscar, this comment still won't get you a Mayweather payday but, nice try...very creative approach.

[champion4ever]

It's safe to say that Manny Pacquiao would probably go down as the greatest fighter that Oscar De La Hoya has ever seen

Truth

It's not all about record. He gave us the best entertainment in sports ever. The one man that made us feel the rush of pure crazy adrenalin that boxing fans crave.

Watch the Cotto, Barrera, Marquez, Morales and Margo fights. Listen to the crowd. They are gasping and screaming with excitement. That's greatness.

Manny is a once in lifetime fighter. Top 5 ever.

don't be fkn ridiculous... it absolutely is, all about the record

that garbage you wrote is why most boxing fans hate pacfans

for more than 100 years there has only ever been ONE criteria for greatness, and it has never changed...

WHO did you beat, with consideration given to when/how... that is the only criteria for greatness

so when you pac-spastics suddenly burn more than a century of tradition, to satisfy your creepy hero worship... you disrespect the sport, and you disrespect dozens of GREAT fighters who paved the way for the modern era

stop being ridiculous

Hoya has said a TON of dumb shlt over the years, this is just his latest ******ity

it is clearly obvious that he is inflating Pacquiao, to lessen the humiliation he feels from the beating that he received... which is silly, because plenty of fighters smacked that crackhead around

the only clowns who think that Pacquiao is a top 5 ATG... are pac-tards and crackheads
